Ok just pick a drink Elise why am I so difficult oh yeah because im with Natasha. Ok deep breaths.
"Can I take your order please"
Crap I haven't rehearsed what I want what do I pick.
"She will have a caramel frapachino please"  she turns and gives me a wink. I go abit red but not enough to notice. She offers to pay I try to say no but she does it anyway. While im waiting for my drink I see this man starring at Natasha's bum. So me being protective  walk right up to him.

While trying to look as confident as possible I say "hey what you looking at" Natasha realises what was happening and quickly turns around and stares him dead in the eyes and says "can I help you "
He responds with a very hurried "no errm sorry "  and runs out the door I give a smile at Natasha and she smirks back. "Elise and Natasha" I grab my drinks and signal for Natasha to grab a seat. I prance over proud of myself and sit down next to her. She thanks me for the drink and even though she bought them. I stare at the wall for what feels like 30 seconds when Natasha shouts. "Elise you awake before the coffee you were over hyper and after your tired what's up"
"Nothing im just tired I guess I think " I give a awkward smile and look away again. She gives me a concerned but happy smile and leans in for a hug. And I don't resist I just sort of lay there in her arms like I new it so well. The only reason why in sad is because I cant be with her and she clearly just likes me as a 'friend' And I  can't change that.

"Im glad you came but I was wondering if you wanted to go catch a movie"
I give a quick scream but inside because im weird but not that weird I give a very fast "yes"
"Well I guess the coffee kicked in"
"Haha yeah errrm... What do you want to go see then because I like anything and don't want you to go see something you don't want to and I .." I get cut off by her soothing voice I know so well "Elise chill it's ok I will watch whatever in taking you so you get to pick."

About 20 minutes have past and we are heading to the studio to watch cars 3 yes it's a children's movie but come on I can't watch a horror I'd be jumping all over her. We take our seats on the back row Natasha chose them I have no idea why but I don't mind.
"You don't mind the seats do you"
"No I like them privacy is always great no one kicking the chairs" I give a reasuring smile and kick back and relax.

About half way through the movie I realise I have been staring at Natasha's hands for about the whole movie so far. I snap back I to reality and TRY to watch the film. I notice that Natasha is getting abit bored by the film.
"You ok there"
"Yeah just not my type of film but if your enjoying it I don't care" she really knows how to to make me blush but thankfully it's dark so she can't tell.
"No it's ok we can go if you want I don't mind don't want to bore you out of your mind we can always go to my place and watch another."A very large grin forms on her face especially at the words go.
"Are you sure I can deal with sitting here for another hour"slightly choking on her words I smile and stand up to leave. She follows and we head out to my car.

"So then we going to my apartment  to watch a movie on Netflix or do you want to go'
"A Netflix and chill sounds great oh wait scratch that a film sounds great "she says but with a slight blush on her face. Wait does that mean she likes me like that like likes me likes me. What do I do. Errrm I say the first words that come to my head "hahaha yeah Netflix cool movie yup" oh god that wasn't even English.
"Great English there Elise so them are we gonna go"

I drive to the closest space to my apartment and lock the car door. as we step out I trip but Natasha grabs as I fall and no it isn't one of those soppy love films were she kisses me instead she literally catches me and starts crying with laughter. She pulls me up and I give an awkward giggle and i thank her. As soon as we get inside I realise that one of my fancy bras is on the floor. I quickly run to grab hoping she doesn't notice. "Can't really hide that Elise it's ok I have one of those too who's the lucky one to see you in it I mean errrm are you in a relationship haha"she gives a awkward laugh and I answer with a very strong "no no im single no one gets to see me in it hahaha" screaming inside I sit on the couch and switch on Netflix we pick a movie and watch about ten minutes of it untill "Elise if your single then why do you have the bra"
"Are we really still talking about this wait actually you said you have one too so you can't say anything"
"Yes but how do you know Im single"
"Well you wouldn't be sitting here watching a movie with me right now you would be with your partner"
"I see but it's not like it's a date or anything"
"Yeah I know definitely not a date at all"
"Would you want it to be a date" did she actually just ask me that what do I do now I love her so much I can't ruin our friendship like this. Why is she so confident with this sort of thing.
"Sorry you don't have to answer that im just going to go to the toilet"
"It's first door on the left" oh my gosh what was that what do I do now I run to the spare bathroom so splash my face as im pretty sure this isn't real I walk out and see Natasha sitting there on the couch.
"Hey errrm I should get going sorry about that by the way I will message you later thanks for the nice night"
"Don't worry about it it's ok message you later" I give her a quick hug and shut the door once she leaves a sigh of relief comes over me when I realise that I didn't have to answer that question. Who asks that sort of question anyway I hope my reaction didn't scare her off.

A few hours later I head to bed. A message comes through my phone. Hey Elise in really sorry about earlier I know you don't see me like that it just happened I hope I haven't scared you off X

Like I said it's fine but do you see me like that?X

I see I guess I deserve that after what I asked errrm but the answer to that is yes yes I see you in that way and I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship because well I just don't.

I didn't expect that as your answer but I have something to say... I like you like that too.

I get a call on my phone from Natasha.
"Hey" she says in a tired but God damn sexy voice.
"Hey why you call" I pant still in shock from our conversation.
"What you said is it true"
"Why would I lie to you"
"Ok i know your not like that I just got worried because I really like you and well didn't want to scare you I guess I don't know what. Say...
"Don't be silly I like you and that's that but can we meet up in person because I want to see your face I mean not face I mean god dammit just ignore me."
"How could I ignore that voice and yes we can meet tomorrow"
We spoke for the rest of the night laughing every two seconds and we both fall asleep on call and I wake up to the sound of a very tired Natasha shouting "I guess we fell asleep huh"...
